The Best American Food & Travel Writing 2024
"There are twenty-one pieces in this collection, each one arresting in its own right, each an act of possibility, each capturing a moment in time that can never be replicated.”
- Padma Lakshmi
The essays in this Best American Food and Travel Writing circle the world — from Dakar in Senegal to Michoacán in south-central Mexico to the Camino de Santiago in Spain — and deepen our understanding of our place in it. An ode to the American grilled cheese spurs the desire to find beauty in the smallest daily activities. An obsessive odyssey for the perfect Chinese food blossoms into a heart-wrenching search for a lost childhood. Bold and insightful, joyful and moving, this collection celebrates the experiences that connect us all.
